Affected by the epidemic, many people cannot go home for the Spring Festival this year, and can only "cloud reunite" with family and friends online. Whether on the cloud or at the dinner table, people may inevitably mention the topic of cars; At the moment when new energy vehicles are getting closer to people's lives, the "reunion dinner" in the Year of the Tiger is not without an electric vehicle. For this reason, the reporters from the editorial department paid more attention to the new energy vehicle market this year, listened to the stories of relatives and friends buying cars and using cars during the Spring Festival holiday, brought you a series of reports on "Spring Festival Collection", and presented the new trend of automobile consumption.
Ms. Zhang said, "Among domestic electric vehicles, I still quite agree with BYD, because it started with batteries and is professional in batteries, motors and other aspects. In addition, during the driving process, BYD is also worth praising in terms of handling and stability"; But "I really don't feel the charging network of BYD, and I haven't seen its own charging pile when I go out". In contrast, the power exchange service provided by Weilai has really attracted many consumers.
"During the Spring Festival, my friends and I went to Miyun for a trip, which was about 200 kilometers back and forth. Theoretically, when my car was fully charged, it could cover the round-trip mileage; but I was worried that I could not find it on the road New energy vehicle charging pile In the end, I can only choose to drive a friend's fuel car ". BYD Qin EV advocates that women should speak frankly," The convenience of new energy vehicles needs to be improved, and I will be more anxious after I leave my familiar place, so I don't dare to go far ".
This Spring Festival, affected by the sporadic outbreak of the epidemic, many people who work and live in Beijing choose to stay in place for the Spring Festival, which makes self driving tours around the city the first choice for many people to enjoy their holidays. So, can new energy vehicles be competent for such medium and long distance travel? Taking advantage of the chat during the Spring Festival, Ms. Zhang elaborated on the experience of using new energy vehicles based on her own experience.
Charging convenience is critical
As a self owned brand car enterprise that earlier laid out new energy, BYD has obvious advantages. Ms. Zhang said, "Among domestic electric vehicles, I still quite agree with BYD, because it started with batteries and is more professional in batteries, motors and other aspects. In addition, during the driving process, BYD is also worth praising in terms of handling and stability."
However, "driving comfort and scientific vehicle design need to be improved. The center console reflects light, and the brake pedal is higher than the accelerator pedal..." Ms. Zhang said bluntly, "This Qin EV is my courtesy car".
It is worth noting that once it comes to winter, "I have high requirements for the temperature in the car, and generally adjust it to the highest state, so it is normal to give half of the range in winter." Ms. Zhang said, "I really don't feel the charging network of BYD, and I haven't seen its own charging pile when I usually go out, and I don't know whether the flagship model of Han has overcharged." 。
Therefore, consumers' anxiety about electric vehicles is not actually about mileage, but about Electric vehicle charging pile Speed and convenience. A netizen said bluntly, "Even if an electric vehicle can only run 300 kilometers, it is acceptable if it can be charged at any time and can add considerable endurance mileage in a short time. However, it is certain that no one is willing to squat in front of the charging pile for a few hours."
The power change mode can solve this problem to a certain extent. Ms. Zhang said bluntly, "I have decided to purchase Weilai ET5 and choose the power replacement mode; I have been to Weilai's factory before, and I am quite satisfied with its product quality, brand and service; the reason why I choose the power replacement mode is that it can reduce the threshold for buying a car, and do not worry about battery decay, and more importantly, do not have to wait while charging."
New forces gain favor through service
In fact, the power exchange service provided by Weilai really attracts many consumers. "On the evening when ET5 was released last year, the system assigned 14 orders to me, and many consumers were blind", a staff member of an experience store of Weilai Automobile told reporters, "In addition to the strong product strength of ET5, consumers also value Weilai's complete charging network and services".

"Taking myself as an example, I was ready to buy a BMW 3 series because it was really inconvenient to charge. But since I installed a power station near my home, I changed my mind, and now I have ordered Weilai ET7". The staff member pointed to the order page in the mobile phone APP and said, "Buying a car from Weilai is just the beginning, and later service is a surprise."
It is reported that Weilai Automobile plans to build a high-speed power exchange network of "five vertical, three horizontal and four metropolitan areas", which has been completed before the 2022 Spring Festival. In addition, Weilai Auto provides 12 times of one button power up service for car owners who are 200 km away from their regular residence; Four free power changes and charging posts, or six free power changes every month. These services can be enjoyed whether you rent batteries or buy batteries.
"It only takes us three minutes to complete the power change, which can save the car owners from waiting for charging." The above staff said that for the residual value problem of vehicles in the power change mode, Weilai also launched a second-hand car repurchase service, in which the one-year age maintenance rate is about 71%, and has been reduced by 6% - 7% year by year since then.
In addition to Weilai, other new car building forces also have a layout in terms of guaranteeing the endurance. On January 18, Xiaopeng Auto officially announced that Xiaopeng has passed through 337 cities across the country. New energy vehicle maintenance In terms of ideal cars, whether or not its incremental program technology is the final solution, it does alleviate the mileage anxiety of consumers to some extent in the short term.
